A New Jax Skin Would Be Nice & Questioning About A Rework??

Hello everyone reading this post, if none of you know me I am a Youtuber, Streamer, & A Reddit Mod Of The Jaxmains subreddit. I try to discuss about the champion Jax and what I believe he needs to improve, what makes him too strong, & ideas such as new skins. I know some people are going to think I have a biased opinion for thinking that Jax needs a new skin, but I would like to put my reasoning out there for any riot employee & the community to listen in on what I have to say.

  • Half of Jax's Skins are unavailable, 4 being legacy skins (Including: Angler Jax, The Mighty Jax, SKT T1 Jax, & Vandal Jax) And of course the 1 limited edition skin Pax Jax that everyone wishes to have their hands on.

  • The last Skin Jax received was The Warden Jax skin (Released October 1, 2015) which I know a lot of people in our community don't find particularly exciting to them due to it being so bulky looking in game and being one of the cheaper skins Jax skins with no visual or sound effects.

  • There is one Jax skin with a different visual effect than the standard skin being Nemesis Jax, a couple skins with different sound effects (one being SKT1 with the trophy clang which is pretty distinguishable), & one having a unique quote being The Jaximus Skin upon movement "Here's To You Kid".

  • The Most Expensive Jax skin is The Nemesis Jax Skin being 975 RP and includes a chroma pack to go with it. This Jax skin is nice with the different visual effects and the quality of the skin, but Jax doesn't have a skin that provides: new quotes, Visual effect, and new sound effects which I think is very important nowadays with this generation of new skins.

I have seen many ideas posted across the Internet some examples of my favorite ones being : Blood Moon Jax, Janitor Jax, Mecha Jax, Gravedigger Jax & Gentleman Jax. All credit goes to the artists not me because I did not make them but I really like what they have created, there are some amusing skin ideas that go along with The Mighty Jax & Angler Jax (Janitor Jax & Gentleman Jax are pure gold) and some being some nice cool ideas for higher rp skins with new sound effects, quotes, & visual effects (Blood Moon Jax & Mecha Jax seem to have good potential for this).

Also I know Jax has been one of the oldest champions that has been introduced to league of legends (Release date being 02/21/2009) and I know his **ability icons are definitely in need of an update ** (Seriously ritoplz) but his auto attacks feel somewhat clunky to some of us players, we hear the sound effect go off but sometimes the auto attack doesn't go through with the sound & it seems much more difficult to do auto ability rotations with this champion compared to some others. I guess I wanted to bring up the question: Is Jax due to recieve a rework in the near future? With the diver update coming up soon (which Jax could indeed be classified as a diver) I was wondering if he was one of the potential candidates on the list? Rioters have given me mixed answers on whether he is to receive a rework or not, So I wanted more of a straightforward answer rather than a short , vague one.

I ask that this post receives feedback from the community and hopefully some answers from riot. I know there are a lot of champions that are in need of new skins and reworks that may be much more important, but I ask that you guys at least hear me out on this and we get something going for our champ without a real weapon.

I'm hoping that during the figher/diver update, that Jax gets a Visual Update and make all the skins nicer looking like the reworks, or like singed. I hope that's the case...

Speaking of updated icons, this guy made some cool icons. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8ZqRn

I've tried making an idea for a Jax rework last year and it didn't get good recognition. I still think he needs a VGU, or a VU at the least. He may not be a bad champion, but he can be improved and modernized.

Janitor Jax is a great skin concept, after all he mops the floor with almost anyone 1v1.

I do not think Jax needs a rework. I have been playing him for the past 2 years and he has brought me from a gold player to a diamond player. I think the reason that riot doesn't touch Jax very often is because he is one of the most successful champs that they have ever made. He has pretty much always had around a 50% win rate, he has lots of counter play while keeping the ability to outplay, and he is just overall very fun. Sure a Visual update would be fine (not that I really care too much) but Jax is my favorite champ and a rework that could potentially turn unsuccessful would be the worst day of my life and I'm sure many others who love to hop on around on the purple guy. I really hope you guys take this into consideration and do not vote for a rework. Thanks!

Jax does have quite a lot skins though. Sure they aren't high quality,but there are a lot of them there.

And tbh,I think Jax could need a VGU first.

Im fully with Original Poster, would be nice if riot could answer something here.

I definitely agree with new skins and a visual update, but a full rework? I think Jax is fine and balanced as he is right now. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

jax definitely needs an update on his autos and aa buff (w) but i dont think he should get another skin. ik most of them are legacy, but there are still champs that deserve a skin more then him.

Riot would have to buff Jax before giving him any skin. Thats their selling tactic, so... if you see a Buff for Jax it means a skin for him is coming.

If Jax somehow got a full VGU I hope they make Vandal Jax more in line with the Vandal skin line instead of basically being a chroma with a different weapon.

I want a biker Jax.

Hi I am a Jax main and I agree with you. Also a rework on Jax would be perfect and If they buff him would be perfect because Jax has the lowest basic stats

I agree, Jax needs a visual update immediatley. As for the rework, I don't rly think it's needed, maybe just add some %hp dmg or healing, and make his AA range to 175 as well as syncing animation and sound to his AA correctly.

I'll drop a bump just in case the reds haven't seen this yet

Really good thread! Riot should see this! :)

Jax doesn't need full rework. He has really good abilities and he's really good for pros and newbies to learn lol. His only problems are old icons and skins.

I really want a Jax VGU. I would love a jax who doesn't look like an egg plant, says more interesting stuff, and really feels like the Grand Master.
